Let our radiology coding expert, Jeff Majchrzak, guide you through the numerous CPT®/HCPCS code changes for radiology in 2019, while untangling the coding complexities for FNA biopsies, CVA/PICC line procedures and much more. You'll code more accurately and confidently, protecting your facility from noncompliant billing.
A REVIEW OF KEY CHANGES FOR 2019:
- Many new, deleted and revised CPT/HCPCS codes specific to radiology services, including:
- Breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
- Fine needle aspiration (FNA) biopsy
- Central venous access (CVA)
